Law Is Effective Without Action Of The Legislature
The New Mexico attorney general's office ruled that a section of a 1941 fishing act became law without formal approval by both legislative houses. The opinion, by Assistant Attorney General George Hunker Jr., held Conchas Lake falls under the act as it appeared in the enrolled engrossed copy signed by the senate president, house speaker, and governor Miles, and thus must be enforced. The courts will not look beyond the enrolled bill except to determine veto override thresholds.
